Rapid SCADA diagram components can fail to appear when the additional-components plugin is used with an incompatible Webstation version. The confirmed case used Webstation 5.0.6.0, while the plugin requires Webstation 5.0.6.1 or later.
Identify the Display Failure
In the confirmed Windows 7 case, the new components appeared in the diagram editor, but the pointer gauge did not render on the editor's main diagram. The level component rendered correctly. A separate Windows 10 case reported that no plugin sensors appeared in the editor after installation and trial registration.
Check the Version Requirement
| Item | Evidence | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Webstation 5.0.6.0 | Pointer gauge did not display | Does not meet the stated minimum |
| Webstation 5.0.6.1 | Minimum version for the additional diagram components | Update to this version or later |
| Plugin build | Multiple plugin versions are available in the repository | Select a build compatible with the installed Webstation version |
The evidence identifies version compatibility as the corrective path. It does not identify Windows 7 or Windows 10 as the root cause, and it does not provide the exact plugin build number.
Resolve and Verify the Installation
- Read the installed Webstation version. If it is 5.0.6.0, update the web application to at least 5.0.6.1.
- Select the plugin version intended for the installed Webstation release.
- If the remaining Rapid SCADA applications must stay unchanged, update only the web application; the evidence states that this is supported.
- Open the diagram editor and verify both conditions: the additional components are listed, and the pointer gauge renders on the main diagram.
- If components remain absent or fail to render, inspect the logs for more precise fault information.
Separate Confirmed Causes From Unknowns
The 5.0.6.0-to-5.0.6.1 incompatibility is confirmed for the pointer-gauge symptom. For the Windows 10 report in which no sensors appeared, version tracking was associated with the resolution, but the exact Webstation and plugin versions were not recorded. Confirm those versions and use the logs before attributing that symptom to licensing, file blocking, or the operating system.
FAQ
Why does the Rapid SCADA pointer gauge not appear in the diagram editor?
The confirmed failure occurred with Webstation 5.0.6.0. The additional diagram components require Webstation 5.0.6.1 or later.
Can I update only Rapid SCADA Webstation?
Yes. For this compatibility problem, update the web application without changing the other Rapid SCADA applications.
What should I check when no plugin sensors appear?
Confirm that the plugin build matches the installed Webstation version, then inspect the logs. The evidence does not establish Windows, trial registration, or file blocking as the cause.
